16 June was Glitz, the award ceremony. All Sports IG including martial arts and sports club were attending. The dress code was formal. I was awarded the Merit Award for my participation in RP Aikido IG.
In the Glitz booklet, it said: " The Merit award shall be awarded to any member who has been in the polytechnic team at least 1 full academic year and who may not possess a high standard of skill in the sports, ........." I was demoralized by the quote "may not posses a high standard of skill in the sports." It should be rephrased as displaying moderate/ acceptable standard of skill in the sports.
Despite this problem, I humbly accept the award. I join RP Aikido during at the end of my second year. And it's not even a year I spent in RP Aikido and I got the position of Advisory Captain and participated in Aikido Youth Meet 2009. I am more than enough in RP Aikido, I do not wish for further achivement or medals/ awards , but the achievement of promoting Aikido to RP students and to expand RP Aikido and Aikido Shinjukai. That is more than enough.
